Chard's Songwriting Journal

You know i chase anyone in a skirt
you new when you were with me i was a flirt
and now you know i can't be trusted
the thought of me, well your disgusted
you have every right to think that
theres not a day that goes by, i know i'm a prat
theres no-one as good as you, i want you back

Your the first iv'e ever wanted to run back to
theres no-one i can love but you
its been a while but now im facing facts
i now know the meaning of tact, i want you back.
Im dying inside i haven't been out for a week
this should make you smile, its you that makes my life worthwhile
I thought i could two time you
its one of lifes little pleasures
its something i had to do,but now i know your a priceless treasure.

Give me back my freedom, i feel nailed to the floor
i don't want to feel this way anymore
call me when you get this letter
i'm now a changed man, i can be better
you know i'm not the kind to write such stuff
its not a whirlwind of guff, i just miss you so much.

Covered from head to foot in treacle
being eaten from a mixture of people
from all races and creed
all those hungry mouths to feed.
Tied up by lace and leather
an onslaught of tickling feathers
eatig me alive, is there a better way to die.
I'm sex crazy, i want to do it with everyone
here today gone tomorrow want to have fun.
is there anything i haven't cosidered, well not yet,
feel free to suggest, iv'e just exploded im soaking wet.
There not stopping, and i'm still willing,
this is a great story, a real killing.
For those who are affended turn away,
i'm busy anyway, night and day.
And for those who don't get it, i know a few,
your heads are in a hot pot your in a stew.
I can't talk now there getting close and personal,
i will see you again tomorrow, for more gore.

Is this all one verse?

chard · 05-07-2009, 03:55 PM

Yes the one and only, theirs no chorus in this one.

chard · 05-08-2009, 07:24 AM

From out of the blue,there stood you
you just stood star ing at me
i couldn't believe, my eyes
it was a nice surprise
Then you walked over to me
it was like we were mean't to be
written in my destiny.

You had jet black hair
and your skin so fair
high heeled snake skin boots
lost, you had taken the wrong route.

Lucky for me, we met at all
you so pretty, standing so tall
when our eyes crossed, it was the beginning and the end
you turning out to be more than a friend.

My breathing is all together better now
out from under the cities, toxic cloud.
Can't understand why i never left before,
sunning on a mediteranian shore.

Worked in the city all my life
years in years out, trouble and strife
never could say how i became so ill,
if their had not of been a press leak, i'd be there still.

The air is clear under a hot sun
paying me off, for not sueing em.
A much fuller life, i have to agree
iv'e paid my dues iv'e paid my fee's
nomore struggles for little money.

Sun kissed beaches with air of solitude,
pouring out a ****tail just call me dude.

chard · 05-09-2009, 01:25 PM

The feeling i have when i am sailing
the sea should be respected
the power the awesomeness, a religious scape
thoughts of great blue holes, with under current sails
where all the fish, represent nightmares.
The outer is beautiful, the inner is bleak
tales foretold from both sides, of your span
your an eerie place, a grave yard
death lies in your stomach
and part of me lives there.
I have sea blood running in my veins
theirs no other explanation
only that i am one with you.

Your my kin I love and at the same time I fear you
I leap into your energising busom
And swallow your imagery whole
never wanting anything in return
on pain of death.

When travelling the land, and your far from sight
i believe you see what i see
i am drawn to you like a magnet to metal
a belief that is real to me
in our relationship theirs real chemistry.

chard · 05-10-2009, 01:18 PM

Working all your life with no reward
you start out so youthful
dreaming of sucess, and believing it
someone other than, will believe in you
you won't work long before they recognise
your wisdom, your full potential
in all ways your be the best their is
always on top of your finances.
chorus;
Youth how shallow i was
to think I could gain respect
when working on the shop floor
thinking I was worth more.

Soon it became clear to me
I wasn't going to be somebody
some one respected, to look up to.
life got tougher, around about then,
work all your life with no return
still living in rented, accomadation
with bills soaring through the roof
im turning into, a grumpy old man.

Now i look back i see openings
in which i let slip by
blinded by my own fantasy
it all got to, far away from me
i pretended it was great
but it wasn't that easy
being across the road, where you want to be
in poor mans clothes no place thats home.

Well from there to here,
i am dreaming again
nothing comes, what you expect
but now looking forward to whats next.

Dm
This chord fits

Under the eye of the eagles glare,
transfixed into submission from the air.
To be dazzled in a way and lose stability,
the awesomeness and what it did to me.
Far from the city,away from noise,
away from traffic, everything which annoy's.

To see such wonder, a place of such freedom,
just a few miles from the hum-drum.
A great spectacle in our skies,
a memorable event, that cannot be denied.
it was a miscalculation by me, in which i died.

I am now soaring up in the heavens.
But you are under the eyes of the eagles glare,
don't bury your head, and say you don't care.
Its astounding go see for yourselves if you dare.
